If you're a 3rd World Geek, chances are you're stuck with a crappy and monopolistic ISP and have all sort of troubles with your service provider.
I've finally got pass the "Wife Acceptance Factor" (WAF) to switch providers.
Below find my Speedtest.net results of said change.

TELMEX "2Mbps" (before)

AXTEL 2Mbps (now)

As you can see, there's actually a way to get the actual service you pay for. Something tells me Mexican consumers are too lazy to do anything more than bitch on twitter and hope things change by themselves.

Thanks on being supportive and helpful on all my "techie" endeavors, from doing "FLISoLes" to cooking your delicious burgers and pancakes to help get computers for disadvantaged kids and specially for being patient when I just have another bug to report or "great idea" to share on IRC or twitter.

I'm publishing this here just in case Sony decides to censor me and as a placeholder on where to continue troubleshooting later.

Pros: 4GB of RAM, discrete video card, looks purpleCons: HD seems to be faulting after just 3 weeks, no recovery CD/DVDReview: I saw this one at the Sony store on Las Americas outlet in San Diego and immediately snatched one as its blue color looks purple, it had an NVIDIA discrete card and plenty of RAM.I happily used the computer for about 3 weeks with no hiccups and was rather happy with it.Then this morning I was greeted with an un-bootable system, "UNMOUNTABLE _BOOT_VOLUME" BSOD over and over.I called support and spend well over an hour punching F2, F8 and F10 and selecting different recovery options, none of them worked. In the end I've been told I need to reach a support center (there's none in Zacatecas) and pay for a recovery CD/DVD that Sony "forgot" to put on the box.I've torrented a "Windows 7 System Recovery Disc" but when booting from it now I see "Status: 0xc00000e9 Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred".My gut is the laptop has a faulty HD. I just hope Sony would stand by its product, help me recover my data and get me a new HD or laptop that would work longer than a month ='(
